Dakota Johnson Paired an Unexpected Sneaker With Her Flouncy Summer Dress

Dakota Johnson's summer uniform consists of summer dresses with sneakers and white socks.

The 34-year-old actor's style plays with minimalism and bohemian touches without ever foregoing sophistication. She favors simple and extremely comfortable combinations, without leaving aside the elegance intrinsic to her personality. But if there is one sartorial element she favors on a regular basis, it's sneakers.

This summer's sneaker trends are very clear: retro inspiration takes over the designs and comfort is extolled as first priority. Melanie Griffith's daughter wears them with jeans and a white shirt as well as the most romantic and summery dresses, as exemplified by her last appearance.

On May 31, Johnson was photographed in a gauzy yellow dress featuring an orange, purple, and white floral print and a flouncy ruffled shoulder. The key to adding a casual touch to her silky fabric dress was to combine it with a pair of sneakers, which relaxed the look for every day, while maintaining high levels of elegance.

But, let's get to the point. The sneakers worn by Dakota Johnson were Nike's iconic Daybreak in black with brown sole details and white logo. These sneakers were originally released in 1979 and their classic ‘70s and ’80s style has made them a popular model among vintage or retro fashion lovers and sneakerheads. They are a perfect fusion between retro style and modern functionality and the ideal choice to combine with summer dresses.

On the other hand, Dakota Johnson combined them with white crew socks, which added to the length of the dress and left hardly any skin in the air, thus enhancing the retro look of the style. White socks have become a must-have among the most fashion savvy, leaving sports lockers to conquer sophisticated looks like this one. Finally, the actor opted to tie her hair back and let her French fringe fall over her forehead, highlighting her tortoiseshell cat-eye glasses.
